Cactus League Opener
The Giants played a good, crisp game to start their exhibition season. It’s just the kind of game we hope to see a lot of from this young team. Highlights were many today. Jung Hoo Lee smoked the first pitch he saw for a line drive single. Landen Roupp got the start and threw two scoreless with three whiffs. Catcher Sam Huff hit a homer to give the Giants an early lead (veteran non-roster invitee Jake Lamb was on base). A Luis Matos RBI hit made it 3-0 in the 5th. Four Giants pitchers (NRIs Enny Romero, Kai-Wei Teng, Joel Peguero, and Cole Waites) kept the Rangers off the board with two hits, no walks, and five strikeouts. Raymond Burgos gave up a homer in the 7th but NRI Miguel Diaz put up a zero in the bottom of the 8th.
Then the fun started. Super-prospect Bryce Eldridge hit a monster homer to center with one out and one on to make it 5-1 Giants. It was the kind of moonshot everyone was hoping to see the 20-year old launch this spring. He struck out in his first at-bat but recovered from an 0-2 hole in the second at-bat to impress the crowd. And the announcers. Jon Miller and Duane Kuiper were pretty excited. After that Grant McCray hit a homer to left! I think we all want to see the speedster “serve notice” and make the squad. NRI Justin Garza finished up.
It was good to see Brett “Maverick” Wisley get two hits. Casey Schmitt added a knock as well. These guys are already on the 40-man roster (like Roupp, Matos, McCray, and Huff). Wisley, as a lefty hitter, has a good shot at a bench spot.
Logan Webb gets his first start tomorrow (Reds, 12:05 PT). Go Giants!
